Dolby Atmos

Dolby's revolutionary Dolby Atmos technology dispenses with the channel-based surround sound coding used for decades, in favor of advanced object-based coding, giving the sound designer the ability to place sounds precisely anywhere in the three-dimensional soundspace. Now you can enjoy this award-winning technology at home with the AVR-X4300H, which features the ability to connect a 7.1 surround sound speaker system and 2 additional overhead speakers or Dolby Atmos-certified elevation speakers, or a 5.1 surround speaker system and 4 additional overhead or Dolby Atmos elevation speakers, for the ultimate home theater experience.

DTS:X

The latest immersive surround sound system, DTS:X features similar object-based audio coding, and provides for overhead speakers to deliver a stunning surround sound experience. Even without Dolby Atmos or DTS:X encoded content, the AVR-X4300H supports both Dolby Surround and Neural:X upmixing technologies: users with a '3D' sound speaker set-up are able to get an enhanced surround experience from conventional Dolby - or DTS-encoded content, or even music in stereo, using the full set of speakers installed in the listening room.

Auro-3D Upgradeable

By fully immersing the listener in a cocoon of life-like sound, Auro-3D puts you right in the middle of the action. Auro-3D provides an immersive surround sound experience thanks to dedicated height and overhead channels, in addition to the regular channels. The height information, captured in recording or created during the mixing process, is mixed into a standard 5.1 PCM stream that comes with a regular Blu-ray. Moreover, the Auro-3D Engine combines different technologies to guarantee an optimum 3D sound experience generated both natively and from existing audio content. It recognizes mono, stereo, 5.1 surround or an Auro-encoded signal and transforms them into 3D audio. Once upgraded with the Auro-Codec decoder, the Denon AVR-X4300H is capable of decoding the original Auro-3D mix and playing back an Auro-3D 9.1 or 10.1 channel configuration (with external amplifier). Auro-3D Upgrade can be purchased for $199.

Upgrade from Denon 4100I purchased this brand new 4300H from Fry's with discount replacing Denon 4100. It's worth more than every penny. There are three major improvements, 4K video on 4K LG TV, 4K sound with Atmos setup and soud playing music via Bluetooth. In general, the sound is much clear and fuller than before. I'm very happy with the upgrade. The remote, the setup and calibration are about tbe same as 4100. iOS app is not fully functional.

Flexible Powerhouse with HEOS IntegrationI plugged this AVR directly inot my wireless router to support streaming better. The unit has a much better GUI (graphical user interface) than my old reciever, which speeds setup, and makes it easier. The unit automatically selects the surround sound mode when watching movies, which is just plain awesome. The sound quality is very, very good (IMHO, not as good as my former NAD receiver, but good enough for today's content). I love the ability to play music using the HEOS app from my iPhone. Highly recommended!

Best Bang for the BuckBought this Denon to replace a Yamaha at the core of my family room TV home theater. While upgrades are never quick, we upgraded speakers (Bose) and receiver fairly quickly. But the best thing is that the sound is excellent. I highly recommend this receiver.

BIG BANG FOR THE BUCKThe 4300 is an awesome device, I am pre-amping the two fronts and letting the Denon breath with the rest of the set up 7.1. One issue I am having and it is not Denon's fault is that I am using a Roku ultra that is fighting against all other devices, if I tried to switch to other inputs like Blu-ray player, CD etc it would jump back to the Roku, really annoying. I was forced to pull it out and connect it straight to the TV.

Assumed 9.2 specs applied to hers speakers.Promotes 9.2 surround sound with hers connectivity. After getting 6 heos speakers, find that hers speakers do not support surround sound but only 2 channel stereo, and even then you can't select which speaker is left or right channel. What is the point of buying this if the heos connectivity won't support surround sound--and why isn't this made clear in the description. I wasted over $2000 on wireless speakers expecting to get surround sound.

3d soundpurchased this to up date my Intregra receiver. and to install the auro 3d sound. set up is very easy, almost does it for you. sound seperation is very good. not quit as warm sounding as the Intregra. but still good. very clear. i have to say, Dolby Atmos was the right idea, but the wrong implementation. try this with direct height speakers. nice. i am using a 5.1.4 setup.

Q&A - AVR-X4300H

I just got mine today, and am having issues with the shield outputing only stereo audio with the reciever, i am using a setup that consist of Nividia shield &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; denon 4300h &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; LG oled65c6p. what could cause this issue? shield worked fine with onkyo

Asked by: bf15

Hello bf15,
It sounds like the Nvidia Shield is outputting PCM only. You should check the audio output settings of the Shield. It could also be the source content itself only being sent in PCM as opposed to Dolby or DTS. As long as the receiver is in Auto, it will automatically decode the format coming in from the source.

what about the power consumption during HDMI passthroug on standby mode

What is the best way to connect wireless headphones to this amp without changing options/setup each time I want to use headphones. Could I convert hdmi monitor 2 output to rca then feed audio to transmitter? I'm using main zone and zone2.

Asked by: JeffGrenier

Hello Ken!
If I use hdmi monitor 2 output what will happen to resolution of monitor 1. There's a 4k tv on monitor 1 and saw in the manuel that if both monitor output (1 and 2) were used, a compatible resolution for both will be output. I guess the amp will see the RCA converter as a HD(1080P) device and will lower resolution of monitor 1. Or maybe since no video device is actualy connected to the RCA converter it will just pass audio? What is your guess?

Hi,
I&rsquo;m currently having problems streaming music from my iPhone (IO11) to my AVR4300. &nbsp;The amp switches to airplay but no sound but the picture from the iPhone shows up. &nbsp;Is there something wrong with the amp?

Asked by: CKP263

Hello CKP263,
I would first try a factory reset to the AVR-X4300H.
1 Turn off the power using the power button on the receiver.
2 Press the power button on the receiver while simultaneously pressing INFO and
BACK.
3 Remove your fingers from the two buttons when
&ldquo;Initialized&rdquo; appears on the display
Try other songs from your phone too, it shoudn't be a file issue, but it could be.
Then if all else fails, give our support team a call.

can I connect 3 ohms speakers in 4 ohm speakers configuration.if to do so what will happen? will the system go to protection mode?

Asked by: alon

Hello alon,
You cannot connect 3 ohm speakers to a 4 ohm receiver. You will want to make sure the speakers are between 4ohm and 16 ohm.
The receiver may go into a protect mode, it may not be right away but it will happen. It is bad for your receiver to do that.
If you need to talk to our customer service agents about what you can connect, please call us at:

If I use this receiver with a 9.2 setup, will I be able to play FM radio through all speakers? &nbsp;If so, with which setting? Thanks!

Asked by: Busboy

Hello Busboy,
Yes, you will be able to play all 9 channels and the 2 subwoofers with FM radio. You will need to change the amount of speakers that the receiver is sending signal to. On the right side of the screen on the receiver it will show you how many speakers you have selected. You can change that to accommodate all the speakers.

I have a bose lifestyle system and want to use a denon avrx4300h to control the acoustimass and speakers...can this be done?

Asked by: Canman

Hello Canman,
The Bose Lifestyle system is a proprietary system to Bose, at least the 600 and 650 is. It is a Bluetooth/WIFI speaker system that has a module that controls the speakers. You will not be able to use that with our system unfortunately.
